| Location | Her Perennially-Relevant Majesty's Colony for the Protection and Productive Utilisation of Her Recalcitrant Subjects, NSW |
| Favorite movies | District 9; The Last Temptation of Christ; Syriana; The Wall; Sideways; The Castle; Samson & Delilah; About Schmidt; Disney's Fantasia (seriously, if you don't think this film is fuckin' amazing, you are already dead inside). |
| Favorite music | Rock'n'roll in its most magnificent manifestations - the classic, the metallic, the epic, the iconoclastic, and the punk-ic; funk; reggae; blues; jazz; traditional and folk music, from various corners of the globe; Euro-classical, when it doesn't sacrifice expressivity for tropological conformity; rap, when it doesn't sacrifice expressivity for apparel endorsements. In short, I'll listen to anything that's not rave, country or Soulja Boy with receptive ears. |
| Favorite books | Too many to list. Currently reading: "Ulysses" by James Joyce; "Here on Earth" by Tim Flannery; "Critique of Pure Reason" by Immanuel Kant; "Snow Crash" by Neal Stephenson; "Mandela" by Mac Maharaj et al; "Empire in Black and Gold" by Adrian Tchaikovsky (thanks Tanya); "Faith and Fire" by James Swallow (again); "Mountains of the Mind" by Robert Macfarlane. |
